Channel 4 and the Sunday Times have uncovered that the Duchy of Lancaster, which provides a private income to the monarch, is earning substantial sums from NHS trusts and other public bodies.
One shocking discovery reveals that the Duchy is charging Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London £11.4 million in rent over 15 years for storing ambulances.
This arrangement amounts to £830,000 annually for a two-storey warehouse.
The investigation has raised questions about the financial relationship between the royal estates and public services, sparking debate about the use of taxpayer funds.

The Duchy of Lancaster, which generated £27.4 million for King Charles last year, operates as a commercial enterprise but pays no capital gains or corporation tax.
Similarly, the Duchy of Cornwall, providing £23.6 million for Prince William, enjoys the same tax exemptions.
Both estates claim they are not taxpayer-funded, yet the investigation reveals significant income from public services.
The Duchy of Lancaster stated it "operates as a commercial company" and "complies with all relevant UK legislation".
